The president, with the advice of Secre-
tary Whitney, has given the construction of
one of the new cruisers to the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco for 81 ,423, 900.
The plausible statement is made, both by
the secretary and the president, that the
difference between the bid of the California
company and Cramp & Son is only $1S, 0O0
This is true in one sense and untrue in an
other. There is $4,000 difference in the
bids of the two concerns for single cruiser,
but Cramp & Son made bid for both
cruisers at $3.50, 900, which would have
been saving to the government of S13S,
600 on the two vessels. 1t may be set
down, then, without doing violence to a
fair Interpretation of this act of the admin
istration, that the little matter of $13S, 900
is the price placed by it upon California
which it is hoped to control thereby in the
next national campaign.

The Denver Republican charges respon-
sibility for the Indian troubles in that state
directly upon the impotent policy of the
government in dealing with the reds.
There is 30 question that it is right The
regulations are all right, but they are not
enforced. Indians are placed upon reser
vations, and when they break out and CON-
NIT depredations they are not punished.
The worst that usually happens to them is
that they are put back where they came
from. An Indian has no respect for law
except that born of fear. If the leaders
were hung, sent TO the penitentisry, or put
TO work in chain gang, or, in short,
treated no more leniently than white men,
they would soon come 10 have a respect for
the law which would have restraining
effect upon their natural proclivities. Pun
ishment for disobedience is Whist Is needed.

Boston bulletin.
Notwithstanding the great draw upor
the wood reserves of the country, there i:
no danger of exhaustion at present. New
England Is by no means denuded of its
timber. The great northwestern pineries
are comparatively unexhausted. There is
also vigorous second growth of white
pine in New England, where the forests
are already yielding between 20O,-
600, 900 and 100000, 900 feet of timber
annually. Southern pine, although strip.
ped from the banks of streams flow
ing into the Atlantic, is practically un.
touched in the Gulf states, especially those
bordering on the Mississippi. The hard
wood forests of the Mississippi basin are
still prolific. In Michigan, particularly
the northern peninsula, hard wood is pleti-
full, maple especially, In the Pacific coast
region the great forests Of FIR are practically
in tact. The forest capacity of the coun-
try is vast. Strange to say, the decimal
ing element of most potence is fire, and not
the axes of mercenary timber spectators.

A REVERED VETERAN DEAD.

Association In trials and sufferings and
privations In whatever sphere of life begets
an affinity between individuals that oftimes
binds men closer than kinship. The veter-
an soldier can better understand this and
appreciate the fact than any other class of
persons. Constant companionship in
camp, In biyouac, on the march and on the
battle field weaves q bond of sympathy
that subsequent separation, prosperity or
adversely can never destroy. 1t is this that
gives zest to stated reunions of old soldiers
or the periodic conversations of the G. A.
R., the inexplicable delight they experience
in meeting and again associatiDg with those
with whom this mutual attachment exists
Nor is this sympathetic relation confined
exclusively to the human. A kindred
feeling often exists in men for animals
which though dumb, by their actions
would seem to indicate the inhibition
of like feeling This was frequent
ly exemplified in horses during and since
the war, notable instance being the case
of Pollard j. Browns veteran war horse
Bob" which throughout the four
years of the late war bore his master safely
through the terrible campaigns of the
Army Of the Potomac as member of the
Third Indiana cavalry. Though severely
wound ed more than once, "Old Bob" sur
vived the war and always manifested the
warmest attachment for him, and for the
reasons briefly referred to, he has been
kindly, tenderly watched over and cared
for by his master and family, and was not
forgotten through all these years by the
surviving members of the command to
which he belonged. Old Bob died at
Kokomo, Ind, last Sunday at the ad-
va need age of thirty seven years, and so
deep was the interest of the members of
the Third regiment In their mute compan,
ion of els, that they joined in performing
for the remains service of burial in keep
Ing with the memory of the service per
formed by him In life. If the theory of
evolution be correct, Old Bob will doubt
less occupy an exalted sphere in the realm
he shall inhabit In the future

Here is little story from New York; it
shows what risks man takes when he tells
the truth In that city: A boy who was
working on roof fell off and was killed.
Something about the case made the police
suspicious, and they arrested two men who
were working near. At first both denied
that they knew anything about the boys
death, but, being locked up, one of them
said that he saw man whom the boy had
been teasing throw a stick which struck the
boy and knocked him off the roof. Then
the man who pretended to know nothing
was discharged On his own recognizance;
while the other, who was ready to help
justice, was sent to the house of detention.

In New York.

was likewise member of the national Re,
publican convention in Chicago in 1860

sometime after the war, having then re-
moved to his former home in the empire

neea and is always avoided by regular
travellers. But the lccturiug committee
had written to the humo,ist agreeing to
meet him at tho depot upon the arrival OF
this train, and 40 As hal no alternative.
Two hours travelling, however, served to
put Mark out Of patience. Stopping the
conductor as he passed through the car
Mark asked as ciYilly az he could "Why
don't you people run this train tanter ?''
The conductor, ignorant who his ques-
TONER was, rejoined: 'Itruns fast enough

speed why don't YOU get out and walk :"
